Moorside Road, Bradford

Significant site slope with two distinct areas: the active Fagley Quarry and the disused Radfield Quarry, posing challenges due to varying depths, stockpiles, and a watercourse flowing into the active quarry.

Previous use as grazing land and quarry operations left remnant structures, uneven ground, and potential contamination risks. Extensive earthworks, including cutting and filling, were required to achieve the desired development levels.
